The tea.n wfll almost be a new ona as only a few of the old men have retumed, but this does not mean that it will not be a, strong team. Hogg, last year's full ' back, is trying to play on the Une. Both he and Hannan have improved a great deal over last year's work, espeeially Hannan's kieking, Which is excellent. Michigan will not be without backs. Teetzel and Henry, of Hyde Park High School, are doing good work and, also, Barobee, who arrived yesterday and is getting ;n shape. Coach Ferbert is not hard on -he men, but i.s strlct and systematic. The inorning is devoted to kicking the ball and light practice like rowing, sailiag and walking to develop the muscles and displace fat with beef. "Dutch" as he is better known, is well lik.M by the men, and is probabiy doing more for Michigan than any eoacli has heretofore. Jíag. Snow will no ,i. play a tackle. He is a beefy man and When trained down will probabiy do some effect ivo work. After the afternoon practico, which consista of au hour's hard work. the men run about a quarter of a irule and tlu-n jump into the lake. Signal pi-a.'tico has begon and the team will line up in a day or so. The ürst game to be playea is with the ïpsilanii Nownals Otober 2.

Minnesota is not heavy this year, nor is Chicago, Purdue 'beinprobabiy the heaviest team Michigan will meet. If Captain Woinlu does not return Manager Hcghes w:ll have a hard iiole to fill at center. If yon didn't see it in The Deu.ocrat it didn't happen.
